Day 42: Stuffed Zucchini

I'm sure you've all heard the joke: On a mans first day at church in a new town one brother came up and introduced himself. The two men had a nice chat and as the conversation ended the one brother said to the other, "be sure you lock your car." The new brother thought this was an odd comment, this was a church for goodness sake, why would he need to lock his car. But, as he left the church and went to his car he found the reason, his car was full of zucchinis


Ya, lame joke. I can't tell you how many times I've heard that one, especially at harvest time! But it makes the point...sort of.

Zucchinis are so great and one plant can usually produce a lot! They can be served salty, sweet, sliced, diced or shredded. They are like the tofu of the veggie world. They'll go with pretty much everything and you usually have enough to go with everything. So enjoy this zucchini recipe, there will be plenty more to come.


Stuffed Zucchini
1 large zucchini
vegan stuffing
chopped mushrooms
chopped cabbage
vegan cheese sauce
vegetable broth

Carefully slice the zucchini in half length wise. Core out the middle. Mix the cheese sauce and broth till creamy. Mix together the stuffing, mushrooms, and cabbage. Spoon in the stuffing mixture to both sides of the zucchini till it's overflowing. Squish the two halves back together, wrap in foil and bake in the oven on 350 till you can insert a knife easily. Separate and let bake another 10-15 minutes. Drizzle with cheese sauce.

Week 6:

My mother always cooks for a crowd. I'm not too sure why. Maybe it was because she used to be a caterer. Maybe it's because I have an older brother named bubba and he always had other teenage friends coming over and we all know how much teenage boys can eat. Maybe its because she always like to be ready for a party.

Whatever the reason, my mother's mad cooking skills meant we ALWAYS had leftovers. I don't know if she even knows how to make a meal for just two.

I love leftovers. They are my artistic pallet if you will. They spark my imagination.....some would say my meals are a little to imaginationish. I prefer the term adventurous. With that said, here is week six's menu. Don't be frightened. It's all pretty normal.
